It's not about the outcomes it's about the attitude. Which is only held (acted on) by I'd guess less than 1% of drivers, who think when they see a cyclist that they should "teach her a lesson." This attitude doesn't show up in the European countries I've cycled in.

It's the existence of that attitude that keeps parents from biking / walking their kids to schools merely blocks away. I've never cycled in countries without basic infrastructure, it would be interesting to see how closely cycle danger correlates to car danger.
